GENERAL INFORMATION
HISTORY
Athens State College, during the academic year 1 975-76, became
simultaneously the oldest and youngest institution of higher educa-
tion in the State Education System. It was founded in 1822 by
citizens of Athens who purchased five acres of land, erected a
building, and began Athens Female Academy. Athens State College
is the oldest chartered institution of higher education in the State.
Ownership of the school was transferred to the Tennessee Confer-
ence of the Methodist Church in 1842. With the birth of the North
Alabama Conference of the Methodist Church in 1870, the College
came under the jurisdiction of that body.
The Board of Trustees voted in May, 1974, to request approval
from the North Alabama Conference of the United Methodist
Church for the College to seek affiliation with the State of Alabama.
The Conference, at its annual meeting, in June, 1974, gave the
College Trustees this permission and authorized the transfer of the
College to the State of Alabama at the appropriate time.
On June 11, 1975, the College was accepted by the Alabama State
Board of Education subject to the appropriation of operating funds
by the legislature. On November 18, 1975, the legislature approp-
riated funds for the operation of the College to serve the community
college and technical college graduates of the State, thus ending a
series of steps required by the State Board of Education for Athens
College to become Athens State College, the youngest State
institution.
The name of the institution has changed depending upon pur-
pose and governing body of the institution. Athens Female
Academy, upon transfer to the Tennessee Conference of the
Methodist Church in 1842, became Athens Female Institute of the
Tennessee Annual Conference of the Methodist Church. Then in
1889 after having been transferred to the newly formed North
Alabama Conference, the College was known as Athens Female
College. In 1931, the Col lege became coeducational and was known
as Athens College. On November 24, 1975, the name became Athens
State College. Each step reflects conscientious effort to preserve an
institution whose goal is service to the students of Alabama. State
affiliation marks the initiation of an era of increased opportunity for
service. This long history of dedicated service is the foundation
upon which the future of Athens State College rests.
8 / ATHENS STATE COLLEGE
PURPOSE
Athens State College is a two-year, upper division college
operating under the auspices of the State Board of Education,
serving primarily graduatesof junior collegesand technical schools
of the state. The college seeks to provide an education relevant to
the present and future for qualified individuals who seek to further
develop their general knowledge and technical or professional
skills.
The faculty, with the support of the administration, strives to
transmit to each student the knowledge and skills necessary to
prepare him or her for immediate service in a profession or vocation,
for flexibility in future employment, for success in graduate school
and for enrichment of daily life.
The student should develop an understanding of the principles of
the natural sciences, a knowledge of and an educated responsive-
ness to the arts and humanities, an understanding of the contem-
porary world, an understanding of individual-environmental rela-
tionships and a knowledge of the political, socio-economic and
cultural heritage.
Each student should become well informed, discriminating,
articulate, humane, and individually responsible. To this end, the
faculty, staff and administration strive to assure the further de-
velopment of communication ability, analytical capability, problem
solving ability, decision making skills and social responsiveness.
The College seeks to extend educational opportunities to the
greatercommunitythrough public servicesand a selective outreach
program. It seeks to search for new knowledge through the
implementation of service and research projects. Athens State
College proposes to ed ucate students for service to society and for a
fulfilled life through three degree programs: the Bachelor of Arts,
the Bachelor of Science, and the Bachelor of Science in Education.

agency.
B. Complete eighty-six (86) quarter hours with a "C" cu-
mulative grade point average from an accredited institu-
tion. (Students attending an Alabama State Junior or

2. Persons who do not meet normal admission requirements with
formal course work may be ad mitted as special students on the
basis of prior extra-institutional training or skill attainment,
through a stringent program of evaluation by the Academic
Council based on standards established by the American
Council on Education. Students are cautioned that the nature
of this work and/or skills must be able to bear the scrutiny of an
academic accrediting agency, and that the work or skills be
equivalent to college-level work. Individuals who believe they
can qualify under this provision should contact the Athens
State College Admissions Office for further information. It is
stressed that no formal evaluation of non-traditional materials
will take place until the potential student makes written
application to the College, pays the application fee, provides
copies of all materials or evaluation including official trans-
cripts of any formal training and successfully completes one
quarter of study.

"C" or better was earned may transfer on initial entry. After
completion of one quarter of successful study at the College,
some"D" transfer work may be petitioned for credit through
the advisor and with the approval of the Academic Dean. In no
case will a "D" transfer if it will cause the cumulative GPA to
drop below a 2.0 at Athens State College. Students who have
been suspended for any reason from another institution are
10 / ATHENS STATE COLLEGE
inadmissable to Athens State until such time as they may be
readmissable to the original institution.

COLLEGE REGULATIONS AND INFORMATION
CREDIT HOURS AND GRADE POINTS
The Athens State College calendar consists of quarter-length
terms; the unit of credit is the quarter hour. Course descriptions
indicate the number of quarter hours which may be earned for a
particular course.
For each hour of credit in a subject, the letter grade is equated to
grade points as follows:
"A" 4.0 points "W" 0.0 points "F" 0.0 points
"B" 3.0 points "WP" 0.0 points "FA" 0.0 points
"C" 2.0 points "WF" 0.0 points "I" 0.0 points
"D" 1.0 points "NG" 0.0 points
A student's scholastic average over any period is computed by
dividing the total number of grade points accumulated by the total
number of hours which the student has attempted. If a student has
received an "I" or "F" and the work is repeated, the appropriate
grade points for only the last attempt will be used to compute the
grade point average. In courses repeated for any reason, the grade
ATHENS STATE COLLEGE / 15
point average is computed on the last attempt only. In order to
qualify for a degree, a student must complete the degree require-
ments with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and at least a 2.0
in his or her major field. However, individual departments may
require a higher grade point average.
Any student failing to attain an acceptable average may be
suspended or dismissed from the College rolls.
CLASS HOUR LOAD
An average course load for a full-time student is fifteen (15) to
twenty (20) quarter hours per quarter. A student who wishes to take
more than twenty (20) quarter hours must have written permission
from the Academic Dean.
REPORT OF GRADES
The scholastic record of each student is mailed to him or her at the
end of each quarter. Grades are reported as follows:
"A" Excellent "WP" Withdrawn Passing
"B" Above Average "WF" Withdrawn Failing
"C" Average "NG" No Grade
"D" Inferior "F" Failure
"FA" Failure (excessive absences) "I" Incomplete
"W" Withdrawn
Grades of "I" are changed to "F" if the work in the course is not
completed within the next quarter of attendance. For the purpose of
computation, "I" is always rated as "F." An "I" will be permanently
changed to an "F" after remaining on the transcript for a maximum
of twelve (12) months.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Upon admission to Athens State College each student is assigned
an advisor from the department of his/her major subject by the
Division Chairperson. The advisor assists the student academically
as required. Students should conferwiththeiradvisorsat least once
each quarter. The ad visor will assist the student to plan the program
of study of each quarter until the degree is completed. If a student
experiences any academic difficulty the advisor is available during
scheduled office hours to assist. Although faculty advisors assist
students in planning their academic programs, each student is
16 / ATHENS STATE COLLEGE
responsible for acquainting himself or herself with the requirements
for the degree toward which he or she is working. Each student
bears final individual responsibility for meeting all degree require-
ments. All adjustments of curriculum must be approved by the
Academic Dean.
CHANGE OF MAJORS
A person who changes majors must confer with an advisor in the
area of change, as well as confer with his or her present advisor.
Often a change of program will necessitate the student's having to
complete more than the minimum hours required for the desired
degree.
DROP AND ADD POLICY
For a period specified in the College Calendar immediately
following regular registration periods, courses may be dropped and
other courses added upon completion of the following procedure:
(1 ) secure permission from the Academic Advisor, (2) complete the
appropriate forms in the office of the Academic Dean, (3) make
payments as required in the Business Office. Please note: Those
attending colleges and receiving Veteran's benefits must check
with the VA officer prior to making a change in schedule.
WITHDRAWAL POLICY
A student may withdraw from a course with a grade of "W" at any
time during the first six (6) weeks of the regular quarter. After this
date, a withdrawal with a "W" will only be possible in case of
extenuating circumstances such as prolonged illness, official gov-
ernment orders, etc. or certification by the faculty member con-
cerned that the student is passing the course.
No student may withdraw from a class to escape the penalty of a
failing grade. After mid-quarter, written certification from the faculty
member concerned is required before a "WP" may be granted.
During the Summer School Quarter, the above privilege will apply
during the first half of the total scheduled class meetings.
Withdrawal from classes is not complete until the student has
been cleared through the Academic Dean's office and the Business
Office. Special regulations pertain to those receiving VA benefits
and these individuals should confer with the VA officer prior to
initiating a withdrawal action.
ATHENS STATE COLLEGE / 17
ACADEMIC PROBATION POLICY
The standards of the College require that a student maintain a
grade point average of 2.0 on all work attempted at Athens State
College. Failure to maintain this average will result in the student
receiving probationary status. Any student may be dropped at the
end of a quarter in which he or she does not make a 1 .0 average on
work attempted. A student on probation may be restricted to
enrolling in a limited number of credit hours.
Ordinarily, a student will move from good standing to probation,
to final probation, and finally to suspension or dismissal. Any
student who is permitted to return to Athens State College after
suspension returns on "restrictive probation" and remains on
"restrictive probation" until he or she clears probationary status or
is dismissed. A student on "restrictive probation" is permitted to
enroll on a quarter to quarter basis and may be dismissed at any time
during or at the end of any quarter in which he or she does not
evidence satisfactory progress. Such a student forfeits all fees.
THE TESTING PROGRAM
Each entering undergraduate student will be expected to de-
monstrate satisfactory performance on the Undergraduate Record
Examinations in the areas of Humanities, Social Science, and
Natural Science. The examinations will be scheduled once during
each quarter. The time and place will be announced at registration.
All seniors also will be required to take the Undergraduate Record
Examination during the regularly announced examination period
during the quarter of graduation.

sort should not circumvent attendance at the junior college. Such
18 / ATHENS STATE COLLEGE
students should report directly to the Academic Dean for advising.
Upon meeting requirements set forth by the Academic Dean they
may be admitted to degree seeking status. Records are kept of the
work completed and credits are transferable to a degree program.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Selected academic courses designed to offer participants per-
sonal enrichment experiences including arts, crafts, and discussion
groups are offered by the College. Such courses are academic in
nature and carry college credit.
TRANSIENT CREDIT
Any student in good standing who desires to take a course at
another college and transfer credit to Athens State College must
first petition to do so through the advisor. A letter of permission
must be obtained from the Registrar's Office. Once a student has
reached junior standing, special permission must be obtained from
the Academic Dean to return to a junior college (this is normally
limited to prerequisite courses).
Students on probation are ineligible to enroll for transient credit
at other institutions.

ADVANCED STANDING WITH CREDIT - CHALLENGE
EXAMINATIONS
In some subject areas, challenge examinations may be arranged.
Students interested, should initially contact the Academic Dean for
information and clearance to proceed. Such examinations when
successfully completed, may be used as a basis for credit for the
specific course challenged. See section on special and incidental
fees for costs.
TRANSIENT STUDENTS
Applicants who wish to be admitted to Athens State College as
transient students must provide the Director of Admissions with a
letter of permission from the Academic Dean of the institution in
| which they are currently enrolled and must complete application for
admission to Athens State College.
TRANSCRIPTS OF CREDIT
In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act, Athens State College does not release transcripts of a student's
work except upon the student's written request. A student or former
student who desires a transcript from Athens State College should
write to the Registrar, giving the dates of attendance and the name
of the institution or person to whom the record is to be sent. Women
should be sure to state all names which may have been entered on
their college records. A student may secure an unofficial transcript
for personal use, but official transcripts are sent only to other
colleges or organizations for reference purposes. Transcripts are
unofficial when delivered "by hand."
Each student is entitled to one transcript without charge. A fee of
$1.00 is charged for each additional transcript, whether it is an
official or unofficial copy.
POST GRADUATES FOR CERTIFICATION ONLY
Students holding a degree from another institution and taking
courses at Athens State College for teacher certification are
required to submit two (2) copies of all official transcripts from each
institution previously attended. Students seeking a second degree
must be admitted as a regular student and meet all admissions
requirements including supplying all official transcripts from all
colleges attended. Individuals seeking evaluation for an Alabama
State Teacher's Certificate must apply to the College and submit
20 / ATHENS STATE COLLEGE
official transcripts before official evaluation and recommendation
may occur.
AUDITED COURSES
Upon recommendation of his or her advisor, and with the
approval of the Academic Dean, a student may audit a non-
laboratory course. Students should attend class under the same
obligation as the credit student although they are not required to
complete scheduled examinations. Standard registration proce-
dures apply. The cost is one-half the regular tuition cost plus the
appropriate fees.
CLASS ABSENCES
Every class in the College curriculum is designed to present new
material at each class meeting. Therefore every student should
attend all scheduled classes, laboratory sessions and discussion
sessions. The student absent from any session misses part of th(
subject matter of the course. Viewed from this standpoint, there U
no basis for differentiating between "excused" and "unexcused"
absences. To derive full benefit from the course of study, it i;
necessary that the student do the work prescribed in each das?
session.
Records of absences are kept by the faculty and recorded in th<
office of the Academic Dean. Penalties for absence may be assessed
by the faculty member concerned.
ACADEMIC HONORS AND AWARDS DAY
During the commencement period each spring there is a specia
honors convocation at which students who have outstanding
academic achievements are recognized. Recognition includes
awards such as Outstanding Junior, Outstanding Senior, and
Outstanding Achievement in major areas. To be eligible for selec-
tion for special convocation recognition, students must have
thirty-five (35) quarter hours credit in residence on record at Athens
State College. After eligibility is established, all graded college work
(transfer and Athens State College) will be combined to determine
the final honor or award recipient.
PLACEMENT OFFICE
The College operates a Placement Office to assist students in
obtaining part-time employment while they are enrolled in College
ATHENS STATE COLLEGE / 21
and permanent employment after graduation. An administrative fee
to defray costs of mailing transcripts and other duplication will be
charged when registering with the Placement Office.
THE DEAN'S LIST
The Dean's List, announced each quarter, includes all those
students who are full-time students carrying at least fifteen (15)
quarter hours of work. The list will identify those students who have
attained a grade point average of 3.75 or above, for the work of the
preceding quarter. Students having a grade point average of 3.5 to
3.74 will be given Honorable Mention.

VETERANS
Veterans of the Armed Services may combine credit from United
States Armed Forces Institute courses, educational experiences in
the Armed forces, and College Level General Education Develop-
ment credit toward the degree requirement at Athens State College
if the documentation of these experiences upon review and evalua-
tion by the Academic Council is found to be appropriate for the
degree. A full-time class load in a quarter for a veteran is twelve (12)
quarter hours or more; nine (9) quarter hours is seventy-five percent
(75%) time; six (6) quarter hours is one-half (50%) time. Less than 6
quarter hour is tuition only. The student receiving VA Educational

VETERANS EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS
AND REQUIREMENTS
Educational assistance and subsistence allowance: All current
VA regulations are applicable.
Tutorial Assistance is available through the Veterans Administra-
tion. An eligible veteran may request tutorial assistance valued at up
to $69 per month or an overall maximum of $828. Interested
students contact the campus VA officer for further information.
Counseling services may be made available to eligible veterans on
request. Such services includes educational and vocational coun-
seling, guidance, testing, and any other assistance deemed by the
VA as necessary to the veteran's selection of an educational or
training objective or an employment objective.
Satisfactory Progress - Each enrolled veteran should have met
with his or her assigned academic advisor, secured an appropriately
annotated standard sheet as a plan of study. Only courses which are
required for that plan of study or electives within the allowable limit
should be scheduled.
Students should complete standard registration procedures and
then attend each class regularly and punctually. During the period
of study each veteran should seek to maintain at least a "C" or
satisfactory academic average. If problems arise, the veteran should
seek counsel from the instructor to determine the cause of the
problem and to seek alternatives. As noted earlier both counseling
and tutorial assistance are available upon request.
If veterans are not regular in attendance and if they are not making
satisfactory progress, the veterans officer of the College should be
notified immediately.
Students receiving Veterans Administration benefits will be au-
tomatically reported to the V.A. Regional Office for unsatisfactory
progress at any time 13 or more quarter hour of "F" are obtained or
at any other time unsatisfactory progress is determined.
Veterans are advised to confer regularly with the campus VA
office regarding their status.
Students who are dismissed, may after one quarter, petition the
Admission committee for readmission under a restrictive probation
status.

tional programs authorized by Congress under the following federal
acts: Public Law 16 (Vocational Rehabilitation,) Public Laws 894
and 815 (Vocational Rehabilitation Revised), Public Laws 634 (War
ATHENS STATE COLLEGE / 23
Orphans Educational Assistance Act) and Public Law 358 (Veterans
Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966).
Athens State College is fully approved by the Veterans Administ-
ration to give training under these laws. Veterans planning to attend
school under one of these laws should make application either
directly to the Veterans Administration or with the Veterans Affairs
Office at ASC.
Veterans Educational Benefits will give the student a monthly
stipend which varies according to the amount of time spent in
school each quarter and the number of dependents.
Athens State College does not participate in the advanced pay
program. The first payment may be received approximately six
weeks after the student enrolls.
Eligible veterans may also qualify for additional VA benefits.
These are Tutorial Assistance, VA Work Study Program, and VA

hearing by the judicial committee.

in this bulletin-handbook will be brought to the immediate attention

professional or graduate school. Majors are offered in Biology, Chemistry, Mathema-
tics, Physics, and Scientific Technologies . The requirements of the major in each
course of study are found at the beginning of each departmental listing of courses.
Since science curricula require an extended sequence, the student majoring in this
Division should carefully check the academic requirements for the Bachelor of
Science degree and the major chosen. It is imperative that students of science meet
with a Division teacher as soon as they make their determination to major in the
Division. The completion of all requirements for a major in any discipline within this
Division is a responsibility of the student.
In all major fields, special programs may be devised to fit specific student needs
which may vary slightly from the below published requirements. Under no cir-
cumstances, however, are alterations of degree programs permitted without prior
consultation with advisors in the subject area concerned and permission by the
Division Chairperson.
This Division carries on an active research program. Science majors are strongly
encouraged to participate with their professors in research. Many research contracts
pay students for the time spent.
In addition to specific majors, the Division offers interdepartmental majors in
Health Sciences, Medical Technology, Natural Sciencesand Technical Management.
These programs and their requirements are presented at the end of the departmental
listings for this Division.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL MAJORS
HEALTH SCIENCES
Athens State College believes that the medical sciences should be augmented with
general studies. The close contact that members of the medical professions have
with other individuals and the concomitant need for understanding and relating to
these individuals as unique human beings are bases for the liberal arts program.
Programs have been initiated which lead to a Bachelor of Science degree with a
major in the Health Sciences. These programs offer the successful applicant who is
an RN a two year program for graduation with a B.S. degree. There are a sufficient
number of program options to allow the prospective student a wide latitude of choice
of subject matter for an emphasis area.
The following credentials will be required and should be submitted to Athens State
College:
1. a transcript of the school of nursing record,
2. a copy of the scores on the State Board of Nursing examinations (obtainable
from the school of nursing attended or from the Executive director of the State
Board of Nursing), and
3. application materials normally required of all entering students.
College work taken in addition to the school of nursing requirements will be
evaluated on its own merit for advanced standing and transfer credit. Course work
taken at an accredited college or university as part of the school of nursing
requirements will be evaluated for advanced standing.
The programs in Health Sciences are composed of two parts: Basic requirements
and Core Curriculum.
The Basic Requirements are common to all Bachelor of Science programs.
The core curriculum further requires an academic major in one of the regular
departments. The chosen major for the B.S. degree in Health Sciences may be
satisfied by meeting the credits specified within that department for the major in the
B.S. in Education program. If the chosen department does not specify a major for the
B.S. in Education program, forty (40) quarter hours in that department will satisfy the
requirements. No less than one hundred (100) quarter hours of academic subject
matter, in addition to the nursing school courses, are required for these programs.
Similar programs can be tailored to the needs of the student who has been certified
in one of the para-medical fields such as dental hygiene, medical records, medical
technology or health physicist.
